Ok, most "lite" versions offer more for someone to actually get into the game enough to want to purchase the full version. Spore Origins LE was a waste of my time. It took longer to to download it over wifi than it took to actually play it. And having played it, I find that while the graphics were very good, game play was a lot to be desired. Tilting the phone only seemed to give very general guidence, and your "creature" mostly did what it wanted. Yes you can make it swim in circles... Whoopee. That's about the most control you have. The rest seems to be random. And one level. What is that? It wasn't even enough to get me even wondering about the rest of the game. There are soooo many better games out there. Cheaper too. Keep moving along, nothing to see here... Really.

As others have said, only one level making it a huge disappointment and an enormous waste of time for 40.6MB download. I can understand EA not wanting to put too much in the free to still entice people to buy, but one level is just not enough to know whether it's worth the money for the full version or not.

I downloaded this demo to try and see if what I had gleaned from the various video reviews of Spore was accurate. Specifically, was the fundamental gameplay simply "Tilt your iPhone around to eat small things and avoid big ones"?

I realize this the Lite Edition of the full version, but you only get to play one level. It's interesting to customize your organism, and "eat or be eaten", and the graphics are great. The rest of this app is filled with a preview of the full game, and advertisement for their other games (which are optional to view). I'm all for taking advantage of marketing other products, but they could've added at least one more level so you can see how your Spore develops instead of watching a video about it, which I can do on YouTube. I didn't expect EA to give away much, but I hardly had a chance to get into the game. I'm sure it's great, but I will probably delete this version since it's way too short. I probably would've given it more stars if there was more game time to get a feel of things. I'm sure the full version is worthy of 4 - 5 stars.

What can you get from a game in just two minutes after you created your creature? I hit a swarm of those things and boom level complete.

Just 1 level. Wasting time. Don't download this app

the game is very addicting, so far.. since this lite edition only has one level to play, it can be very agrivating. i would like to see at least 3 or 4 levels in the lite edition which would make it much funner.

This is a ridiculus demo. I literally finish the one level it has in 30 seconds. They need to include at least a few minutes of gameplay.

When I first saw this, I was glad EA was offering the lite version but it only has one level. What's the use? I thought apple wasn't going to allow under featured apps. At least other lite apps have their good points and they offer more than one level.

The point of the Lite Edition is to give you a feel of what the regular game is like. Its not to give you enough levels to take the place of buying the game.

My kids played the one level over and over, so I know they like the game. And it's fun creating the organism. But I wish it had at least three levels to try out. One level just isn't enough to get a feel for whether the full version is worth the money. I just can't bring myself to pay $8 for the actual game yet, because I'm just not sure it will be worth it. I'll have to think about it some more.

Way too short.

cool game- not sure if i like the "streering" but it makes the game great.. anyone who thinks this game doesn't have enough levels need to know this games a trial... its already a great game that leaves you wanting more.. but if they added random lvls it would be cool...

Ea needs to step it up on this. With a demo like this I wouldn't even THINK about buying the full game. i'm sure it's much better than this and you need to show us that. the demo has virtually NO options at all and about 30 seconds of gameplay. I spent longer in the editor mode (seeing what options you DID include) than the actual game. it spent more time downloading than I spent playing! as I said before, the developer needs to show us what potential the full version has by offering more of a demo before we dish out 7-9 bucks for an app.

1 level?!?!? Common now. No one will buy the full version if this is all they know about the game. Add more levels, and wings for the creatures. Oh and make full version cheaper. And how come you can't have more than 2 parts on your creature? Please update!!! Oh and 40.6mb!!! That's crazy! The memory is waisted on all the adds for the full version! WTF! Don't buy app. I'm trying to help you. Seriously....

This is not a bad app. The point of the demo is to give you a taste of what the full game is like which I think it does the job. However, the demo helped me decided that I'm not paying for the full version if that's all there is to the game... at least not at the current price. for the full version either drop the price to about $1.99 or add a lot more interesting features to justify a $7-$10 price tag.

I wish there were more levels, however. And I won't buy the game until it's 3 or 5 dollars! I mean, C'mon, EA! 8 bucks?10? It's not that spectacular! I saw the video and found out it only took you guys a few weeks to make this! I read the reviews and a lot of people are either talking crap or recommending more levels. Please lower the price, EA.

Not enough game play or preview. Waste of space inside the game category.

This free app gives you a tiny taste of the Spore Origins game. Don't bother downloading unless you are interested in the full game, which costs $7.99.

umm, this must have been the same thing they demo'd. some customizations are locked out and just 1 level? come on give me something to look forward to...this just gets people angry.

Too short

I agree it's cool they made a lite version. But only 1 level, wtf?

the one level is more than enough preview for the game, since the real game is only a few levels of the water area anyways. I love the creature creator, it's so much fun esp since you csm use pictures from your iPhone. I've created countless spore creatures of my friends. xD

Title says all, I paid 10 dollars and I beleive the actual version is worth every penny. Stop being cheap.

There really isn't enough playable options to really tell if you would like to buy the full version. Just a suggestion, open it up a little bit more so that we can get a better idea about the game.

No fun given for the LITE version? This is kinda of bad.

this is a great demo of a fantastic game.

Just like everyone else, it needs more levels. One level is just not enough for me to get a feel of the game and the features. Just not enough for me to buy the full version.
